The paper examines how prestimulus pupil size relates to detection performance in visual and auditory tasks, finding it improves visual detection but not auditory detection, suggesting different mechanisms in each domain.

The paper shows pupil constriction triggers retinal and visual cortex activity independent of visual stimuli, revealing a new mechanism in visual processing.

This study replicates previous findings that pupil size changes during exploration and exploitation but finds no effect of exploration on visual sensitivity.

The paper shows that larger pre-stimulus pupil size improves near-threshold detection performance regardless of stimulus color, eccentricity, or retinal adaptation state.

The paper examines how pre-stimulus pupil size and EEG power in alpha, beta, and theta bands influence near-threshold detection sensitivity and decision criteria.

The paper tests how matching irrelevant spatial frequencies between memory items and perturbations affects neural and behavioral working memory readout, finding enhanced specificity in neural responses.

This study investigates the relationship between resting-state pupil size and cognitive abilities, finding no significant associations after controlling for confounding variables.
